Can you exchange diapers at Target even though they are not bought there?

My LO (little one) outgrew size 1 and we still have a unopened Huggies size 1 diaper. I thought i read somewhere that Target takes in diaper without receipt. Has anyone exchanged or returned diapers there?

It depends whether or not Target sells the specific size count. I know that there are sometimes different amounts of diapers in each box for different stores. Check on their website first, searching the quantity of the box that you have. If it comes up, then yes you should be able to return them. If not, then I doubt it.

If you are able to return them, it likely will be store credit on a gift card, as you have no receipt. (I am a former Target employee. Things have probably changed with their return policy since I quit 4 years ago).

I returned a ton of newborn diapers in July and size 1's in August. I made sure both sizes were on my registry and they pulled up the registry and took the returns. I do believe a few I got back the full amount and a few were the amount less a dollar or two. Not sure how they make the determination.

I was also a target employee.

I was too, I was just thinking this. I worked in returns. Due to their lenient return policy we got something interesting returns. One lady tried to return ruined, lumpy pillows claiming they just magically became lumpy (like I cared at 18yr) but when I said we couldn’t take them back she started throwing a fit, name calling, crying, the works. I waited for her to stop and then pointed out the Macys tag on the pillows.

Girl, yes. 😂 I got tons of diapers so I had to return them and just made sure that same bag or box I was taking there was sold at Target by searching the item code in google or looking on the website. I told them I was returning it from my registry. The diapers I've returned were not even on my registry and I've done this like several times. They give me store credit every time no problem. If I'm not getting the full price for the diapers they tell me its sale price. Which I still accept anyway usually. It's only a couple dollars difference 😊

My favorite was when they tried to return things that smelt like animal pee or cigarette smoke and say “it’s never been worn. I dunno why it has a hole”

Like okay ma’am, get away from my service desk.

I loved that shit! 😂 like I gave two effs. I remember thinking, We all know what you’re doing. Why are you going out of your way to lie about it?? I make minimum wage. I do not care.
One time some guy tried to return a Play Station. He told me it was gift, he no receipt, it was unopened, blah blah blah. What most people don’t know is that electronics have two barcodes you must scan. One wasn’t registering. I turned the box over and the barcode that should’ve been on the play station was crookedly glued on to what appeared to be wood painted black. I asked the guy to wait while I got my manager for the return. The guy waited. He knew what he was doing and waited. My manager walked up with security and they escorted him and his 2x4 “play station” away.

Yup! As long as you’re registered and they sell that count/brand. Literally no issue, just had my registry bar code, the pack I wanted, the pack I was returning and was out in less than 5 mins.
